For most software, the default configuration files consist of mostly comments and act more like documentation for what the local configuration might look like. Claiming that the defaults are actually defined in the source code is correct, but also not very useful if it means that the local admin needs to go poking at said sources to figure out how to configure their machine...
This is what documentation is for, either man/info/html pages. Too bad, configuration was misused for this in the past decades. I will respond to the other items tomorrow. Olaf
